QE  SHERWOOD  EDDY , 

8 A.  M.,  December  29th,  1923 


Hello  K.  just  read  your  letter  of  November  fifteenth, 
reasonable,  but  I don’t  see  how  we  can  possibly  meet  them 


Paul — Don’t  say.you  can’t  send  us  a man  to  fill  Dr.  Farquhar’s  place!  We  must  have  a man  on 
Christian  literature  for  India. 


Paul — But  listen,  Sherwood! 
work  drop. 


Heinrichs  goes  home  on  sick  leave.  We  can’t  let  his  lecture 


Eddy — We  are  working  with  every  ounce  of  energy,  but 

Paul — Do  the  men  of  North  America  know  what  service  these  men  are  giving  to  India?  How 

Eddy — Those  who  know  are  giving;  we  are  trying  to  tell  them  and  to  organize  so  that  every 
man  can  help.  The  economic  problem  of  the  United  States 


Paul — True,  but  India  has  her  economic  problem  and  social  and  political  unrest  besides.  It  is 
hard  to  get  money  enough  for  our  local  Associations,  to  say  nothing  of  the  National 
Council.  You  won’t  cut  the  usual  subsidy  for  our  National  work? 


Eddy — It’s  still  doubtful. 


Paul — But,  man!  India’s  Y.M.C.A.  is  in  a critical  state!  If  you  withdraw  secretaries  and  cut  off 
our  subsidy  it  means  disaster!  Can’t  you  get  this  over  to  the  North  American  Y.M.C.A.  s? 

Eddy — We  have  ten  days  more  to  do  it.  I tell  you,  K.  T.,  we  are  doing  our  utmost.  We  still 
have  to  get  $613,849  in  cash  from  Associations  and  individual  contributors  to  complete 
the  budget  for  1923.  The  Associations  are  speeding  up;  but  half  of  this  amount  is  not 
yet  pledged. 

Paul — I appreciate  tremendously  what  you  are  doing.  It’s  life  or  death  to  us. 

Eddy — I’ll  tell  them  what  you  say.  I know  our  American  and  Canadian  friends.  I am  certain 
that  when  they  have  the  facts  they  will  see  you  through.
